Morm- when I was typing out my list for the phantasy points you earned this round I was indeed shocked not to see Turin on your squad. I actually went to the thread just to double check that I had copied it correctly. "No Turin? That can't be right! He always picks Turin- and Turin's won or tied for the golden boots trophy three straight years, and was 1st-team All-Star all three years, and scored the most phantasy points one year. Surely I copied the wrong team..."

And Nilp- quite right, I already put the points up. But you can't know the scores, can you? You never know how many cards someone may have taken. Be a good boy and read Boro's narrative when it goes up.

Well when we can switch squads, he will be added, I feel like a betrayer of my own namesake.

There. The Phantasy points from last round are above.

Please let me know if I didn't catch your team name when you gave it, or if you never chose a name and wish to have one.

Also, just so no new ones are overconfident or unduly depressed, things can turn around in a hurry! Ask any of the old competitors, and they'll tell you that comeback wins are the norm around here. There are still many rounds to go. Leaders don't get smug, and trailers don't feel down.

Actually, I got the scores, the yellow cards, and the number of shots on target (+/-1 margin of error) correctly. But I always read the narratives; they're such fun.

Kudos to you three for the great coverage!

(The standings will be up in less than an hour.)

Okay everyone, go ahead and make any changes you wish to your Phantasy Teams. Maximize your points. And don't forget to take note of which team your players are facing! It's very risky to own an offensive player going up against a defensive juggernaut, and the same works in reverse of course. Match-ups are half the battle.

Round Two of Group Play

-----
Tirion vs Shire-Bree United
Doriath vs Himring
-----
Anduin vs Misty Mts
Esgaroth vs Wilderland
-----
Angband vs The Downer
Angfauglith vs Hithlum
-----
Eriador vs Gondor
Barad-Dur vs Eregion
-----
Nargothrond vs Tol In Gaurhoth
Mordor vs The Forest
-----
Tol Eressea vs Westernesse
Mithrim vs Numenor
-----
Gondolin vs Pelori
Beleriand vs Valinor
-----
Lothlorien vs Minas Tirith
Dunharrow vs Minas Morgul
-----

You are allowed UNLIMITED trades before round two.
You are now allowed FIVE STARS.
